    • armour: protection 4
    • tools: Silk touch 1 or Efficiency 5
    • fishing rod: Lure 3

    For swords I'd say Looting III and for tools Silk Touch I = Fortune III

    Strangely enough, after dealing in ebooks for quite some time, I find that the one I need the most and have one HECK of a time getting with any regularity is Unbreaking III.

    It is always just taken for granted, yet it is the one ebook I refuse to sell. I'll even sell you a Thorns III or a Silk Touch or an Efficiency V but NOT Unbreaking III. Efficiency V is a pain to make, but (at least in the past) it was very doable at a reasonable price. Unbreaking III is the very devil to get and unreliable to create.

    I suppose Eff V or Silktouch are the most popular, but if you have either or both of those on a tool, just try to find an Unbreaking III book to combo with it! I have spent more XP combining tool/tool (which costs SO much more than tool/book) to put Unbreaking III on equipment - too much, actually.

    Fortune III/II is another great enchantment to get on diamond tools so you can get more diamonds/redstone for more profit. I find it popular among me and other people.

    I would agree with the unbr3 comment, that book is the most valuable. It goes on anything and you want it on everything. Its not a default on the star tools and if your missing it on any item you want it.

    I prefer no armor enchants because the colors affect my majestic green shirt blue pants combo. But I do love me a silk touch eff4 unb 3 pick axe and unb 3 is rare? I have like 3 or 4 of those books.

    Book, maybe. But after enchanting 300 tools I noticed that more than 200 of them had unbreaking 3 on them. From which about a third had only unbreaking 3 on it.

    Its still the book that I have the least of (1) currently and I have a number of items that could do with it. Such as shears and swords but then my armoury is several updates old now.

    I'll enchant 27 books and we'll see what the enchants are.

    3 out of 27 books were unbreaking 3.

    EDIT: more tests.

    7 out 0f 72 books.

    that's little over 1 in 10 books being unbreaking 3.

    While with just tools and armour and such, 2 out of 9 items had only unbreaking 3 on it.
    where 2 out 5 items had unbreaking 3 in combination with other enchants.

    I voted for silk touch over Eff5 because silk touch accomplishes things that can't be done otherwise.
